Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

I said: I still use my own car, because I have other places to go.I guess you like to use your own car. Yes. I said to Baisha: Do you want to go with Shanlou, or follow me? It's better for me to take Shanlou's car. Shanlou said: Wait a minute, wait a minute.Never try to slip away and do something on the phone. I said: God, I told you she wasn't at my apartment.You go, I don't care.If you don't believe me, if you call now, no one will answer. Good idea, Shanlou said, Baisha, what's the phone number of his apartment? Betha gave him my phone number.Shanlou dialed the number and did not hang up after listening for more than ten seconds.He hung up the phone after making sure no one answered, and looked at me strangely.Finally he said: OK, Tang Nuo.Let's go, even if I'm curious, I'm going to have a look.

I told him: whatever you want.I can only buy you some wine when I come to my place.From now on, you will laugh me to death and ask you to pay for your life.Here's my key, take it, if you use the siren I can't keep up with you, I'll be a few minutes late. Shanlou said: You keep it, don't worry about it.I don't use a siren.You want to use your car, I will follow you.You don't run around, go straight to your apartment.Baisha and I are right behind you.understand? I nodded, deliberately yawning. Walking out of Baisha's office and coming to the reception room, I suddenly remembered that the paper skewer used by Ai Qian was still on the table at the entrance.It was an iron skewer with a heavy base.All kinds of paper waiting to be processed or that may be useful in the future can be inserted on it.

Shanlou was the first to walk up the aisle.I stepped aside to let Baisha go ahead of me, and with a quick touch, I grabbed the paper skewer in my hand, grabbed all the paper off it, and threw it to the ground. I glanced back and Bu Aixi looked at me curiously.But she didn't say a word.Didn't get up and clean up the messy pile of papers on the floor before I left. I stuffed the whole paper skewer into my pocket, and followed Shanlou and Baisha into the same elevator.Shanlou's car was parked in front of the fire hydrant at the entrance of the building. After Shanlou got into the driver's seat, I helped Baisha go around the car to the other side of the car.He opened the door for her, held the door and waited for her to enter, and closed the door.

Such politeness almost killed Baisha.I saw the smile on her heart. I came around from the back of the car again, took out the iron skewer from my pocket, lowered my front body slightly, and inserted it into the right rear tire of the police car with force.Pull out the skewer, put it back in your pocket, go forward and say: Officer, I drive a company car, and I will go straight to the apartment. Okay, Shanlou said, you lead the way. I said: You have to follow me carefully.It's not easy for me to see if you're keeping up. Shanlou pointed to the siren and said: Don't worry.I have an ace here.You want to drive away fast, there are no doors.Don't worry, you can fly as much as you can.I can even make a little bet with you.

Can.I said and walked towards the place where our company car was parked. When I drove out, Mi Shanlou was lighting a new cigar in the car, and he didn't seem to want to start the engine quickly. I quickly took the lead through a street and a half, and then kept a distance of one traffic light, but I couldn't go through four or five traffic lights.In the rearview mirror, Officer Mi could be seen sitting behind the steering wheel like a baboon, with the just-lit cigar tilted at a forty-five-degree angle. We walked more than ten streets in tandem.I have a chance to turn left.When turning left, I saw Shanlou's car was quite bumpy.Suddenly Shanlou pulled over to the side of the road, and one of his tires was flat.

I stepped on the gas pedal, in the end. Within half a street, I heard a series of warning horns coming from the Shanlou police car behind.At the intersection I heard sirens again. I ignored him and continued driving, very fast. In front of my apartment, I braked the car.Quickly get out of the car and walk onto the sidewalk with the keys to the apartment in hand.I expected the elevator to be on the ground floor when I opened the door. The elevator is right on the ground floor.I go upstairs. There was a square rug in the elevator that wasn't very clean.I pulled out one corner of it a little and clamped it between the two doors. The elevator door couldn't be closed, and the elevator didn't move naturally. I wanted them to go up the stairs, which would buy me a few seconds.

I walked quickly to the door of my apartment, opened the lock with the key and said: Ruth, come on, we have to get out of here immediately. I heard bare feet walking and a soft cry. Ruth stood in the bathroom doorway, holding a towel over her front. I said: When is it not good to take a bath! Tang Nuo, I have no choice but to take a bath.You see I've got your place in order.It was a frightening mess.What's the matter? Officer Mi will be here soon.They found that packet of poison in your apartment. What are you saying! I said: get dressed and get out of here. You stand here looking at me, how do I get dressed?

I went to the window and said: I don't look at you, get dressed quickly.No need to wear socks.Wear whatever you want, and go fast.I parked the elevator on this floor, and they can't come up for the time being.As soon as you get out, run to the upper floor.If anything happens, you get caught and don't say anything.You dress, I ask you.Do you know Hua Susu? who is she? Bao Qile's secretary. Yes, I met her once. I said: She died in your apartment. donno murder.Somebody hit her on the head and strangled her with one of your nylon stockings.Do you know, does she know Dr. Gui?

know. How familiar are you with Hua Susu? I don't know her well. She came to my apartment once.She came here to see me. what does she want She came to inquire about the relationship between Dr. Gui and Mrs. Bao, and I couldn't satisfy her. I said: get dressed quickly. I'm dressed. When I turned around, she had put on her skirt, top, and coat.Both feet are wearing shoes. Do you have a hat? have. Where? I didn't take it. sock? in a purse. Is there anything left? No. Okay, let's go, remember, run to the upper floor. Tang Nuo, what will happen if they catch me?

I told her: If you don't leave, you will be caught.Go up one floor and wait there, I'll come to you.It would never have occurred to them to go upstairs to find you. I pushed her to the door, opened the door for her, and pushed her into the aisle: go, there are stairs in the exit door, go upstairs. I saw her go through the door and start climbing the stairs.I went back to the apartment and looked around to see if she had left anything behind.I didn't have much time to look, and there was already a heavy knock on the door. I went over and opened the door. Mi Shanlou pushed the door, and it hit the rubber door on the wall.

I move out of the way so he can come in. How long have you been back?Shanlou asked. I made a surprised expression: I just arrived!Didn't you follow me in? Didn't hear my siren? siren?Of course I heard it. Why not stop. I said: Isn't this the trump card you use to clear the way? I want you to stop, I got a spike in my tire. I have no idea! Shanlou stretched out a hand to grab my shoulder, turned me to face him, pushed hard, and leaned my back against the wall.He said: Fuck, I don't know if you are lucky or smart. Baisha shouted angrily: Shanlou, don't be violent! I said: What do you mean, your tire is pinned, it's none of my business.The tire needs to be changed, how can it come so quickly. Baisha said angrily: We didn't change it.Requisition the first car that passes and take us to where a taxi is available. Shanlou explained: Even so, you must arrive five minutes before us. I shake my head: I don't think it's been that long at all.Wait a minute, maybe it's been that long.I parked the car to see if you were not behind, and waited downstairs for two or three minutes.Waiting on the street like a fool before coming up. Shanlou said: Boy, let me tell you, if you lie to me, I will make you unemployed.I'm going to revoke your license to eat. Wait a minute, I said, you told me to drive as much as possible, don't worry about you.you say you Shanlou said angrily: Forget it, let’s not talk about it!Where is the woman? I said: Baisha said here alone. she is not here? I said: Han Jialuo is not here.I said it again and again before you came.Find it yourself, don't be shy. Shanlou took a casual look at the apartment, then turned to Baisha: What are you doing? Bai Sha was panting and angry again: Tang Nuo, don't think you can fool me. I shrugged. Shanlou said: "None of you two should think that I am an idiot."There are no women here.white sha.how do you say? Baisha said: The elevator failed, we climbed the stairs.Is it a coincidence? How to say?Shanlou said. Bai Sha said: Don't look at me like that, Tang Nuo.God knows, I won't suffer for you.She paused to catch her breath and continued: Shanlou had already said that she had no ill intentions towards her, why didn't you let her come out to meet her? I took out the cigarette case, motioned to Shanlou and asked if he wanted one. Shanlou said: Save it, you sissy thing.He reached into his jacket pocket and took out another cigar. I said: There's still some whiskey in the kitchenette. Shanlou said: I am on duty.Bai Sha, don't be interrupted by this kid.I'm still interested in the direction you just spoke.Tang Nuo might want to change the subject. Baisha said: The elevator is broken, which made us walk up.But the elevator lights said it stopped at this floor. Makes sense.Shanlou said. I said to Baisha: Why don't you join the police and be a real detective. Bai Sha glared at me, I secretly blinked my eyes slowly. Bai Sha said: Fuck you.I don't suffer for you. Shanlou said: When you mention the elevator, I think it's a bit weird. You little bastard, come here while your tires are punctured, said Betha.Parked the elevator on this floor and couldn't go down, so we had to take the stairs, which gave him a few minutes to organize.The only thing I don't understand is why he did it.You have already told him that Han Jialuo is innocent.We only want this guarantee. She is your client?Shanlou asked. Yes. You only have one client? Yes, absolutely. Shanlou looked at me and said: Tang Nuo, I don't understand. I said: It doesn't fit in with what you think because Han Jialuo is not here.I told you she never came. Baisha began to observe this place, and suddenly she said: God knows, who said she has never been here.Look at how clean the place is, the landlord only sends maids to clean it once a week.Look, the ashtrays are upside down.Everywhere has been dusted and there is no dust at all.Look at this kind of place.Baisha wiped the top of the bookshelf with her fingertips. Shanlou looked at her thinking. Baisha walked into the bathroom, took a look, and said to Shanlou: You are a good detective. save. Baisha said: God has eyes, look at the mirror in the bathroom.The steam hasn't dissipated yet.The towels were damp.Do you understand what it means? Shanlou whistled and turned to me suddenly: Lai, where did she go? I shook my head and said: Jia Luo has never been here. You refuse to tell me, Shanlou said, look at this pile of rubbish, Baisha is right. Does the law prohibit bachelors from having female visitors?I asked. Shanlou scratched his head.He told Baisha: This may be true.That's why he refused to bring Han Jialuo here.There is already a woman here. Baisha said: Let's look for it.I also want to know what she looks like? This may upset him, and it will upset her.Shanlou said. Then he can speak, and his mouth is not closed.It was because he himself didn't want to talk about it, which made him like this. Shanlou said: Let's assume that Lai Tangnuo came here before us.He went upstairs and jammed the elevator.His mistress is in the shower.he pulled her up from the bathtub closet.Baisha asked. I have read it.Shanlou said. Baisha said: He is too smart.He won't hide anywhere I want. Wait a minute, Shanlou said, you assume it's him, why do you want to tamper with the elevator? Of course, we are asked to run the stairs and get here later. Shanlou said: Yes, he has a little more time.A minute, maybe two minutes.But this also increases his danger, because there is only one way up and down the stairs.We go up, she goes down, isn't that more dangerous?Ordinary people will make the elevator unobstructed. We go up the elevator and don't know how to use the stairs, so she goes down the stairs. I don't understand.Baisha said. As soon as the girl is ready to leave, Tang Nuo should restore the elevator to normal. We get on the elevator and the girl goes down the stairs.That makes sense. I see, yes. But he just doesn't do it, why? I said: Officer Mi, you are very good at reasoning. He said: Shut up!let me think about it. Baisha said: Maybe he was going out to restore the elevator. Shanlou said: If he wants, he has the time.Originally, he wanted to play this game. We went up the elevator and she went down the stairs.Later, when he came in, she was taking a shower and it was too late.He didn't have time to get her out of the house before we arrived. What should he do?Baisha asked. Shanlou bit the unlit cigar fiercely. While observing me, it could be seen from his eyes that he was thinking desperately. I looked at him with calm, innocent eyes. Suddenly, Shanlou said: My God, I am so stupid!Should have remembered. What?Baisha asked. Shanlou went to the door, opened it at once, went up the aisle, turned to me and asked, "Where is the stairway door?" Where did you come from, I said, you should I don't want to go down the stairs, I want to go up. I point to the door. Shanlou said: Thank you, Tang Nuo.Open the door and climb the stairs. I turned to Baisha: what kind of partnership work is this? Don't push everything on me.why don't you tell me the truth I said: I keep telling you not to bring Han Jialuo here.We can no longer do this kind of trick to hide people that the police want. Baisha said with an angry face: I don't know why you suddenly became serious?All troubles are caused by you.You have no economic sense at all. What has it to do with this? She said: "You don't work for money.Anybody just flick her long hair in front of your eyes and you're out of your wits, dangling our joint interests around the gates of San Quentin.Thinking of the risk our company took because you took a fancy to the chick in the case, even my spine is still sweating.And according to my experience, it seems that every case has such a woman.When I think about it, I dare not get out of bed, not knowing what my partner will do to me in the new day.I The door opened, and Officer Mi helped Olusi in with his hand. look what we foundHe said. His grandma's!Bai Sha shouted suddenly. Ruth said: You have no right to drag me down here.Who are these people? Shanlou said: Don't be nervous, sister.You said you have never been to this apartment? of course not. Why are your fingerprints all over the place? I said: don't bluff, you don't Shut up, Shanlou said, from now on, I will be the host to speak here. This is my apartment. Shanlou deliberately said politely: That's right.You live here, Mr. Lai.But you are only here temporarily.Your future address is a nice big house with lots of small rooms.You only occupy one of them, and there are bars on the windows. I said: When a woman comes to do housework, when does it start to be considered a crime. Ruth said: Well, I'll say it.I met Lai Tangnuo a month ago and I fell in love with him.My divorce is still pending and we cannot get married yet. So you've been living here. Not too long, said Ruth, more than a week. Shanlou walked to the closet door and opened it.He said: Where are your things? Tang Nuo has a maid to serve, he doesn't want her to know that there are women here. Where is the toothbrush? She looked at me helplessly. Shanlou said: This is the happiest I have ever heard in my life, wait a minute.Redhead, five foot four, one hundred and twelve pounds, good build.God!You are the woman I am looking for.You are the murderess.You are Orus! I said: Okay, Ruth, sit down.Let's face it.Anyway, he will also see your driver's license soon. Am I lucky, or am I dreaming? I got home anyway.Baisha announced. I said: Well, friends, let's all sit down and talk. Well, I'm going to tell the world, let's talk. I said: My purpose is to clarify the whole case.I think everything can be resolved within two or three hours. Shanlou said: That's great.Mr. Holmes himself.Tang Nuo, you are going to fight the entire police alone, aren't you? Yes. Yes!You are so humble.Shanlou said. I say: Sit down, without prejudice.The only problem you cops have is once you make an arrest, you can't fool a reporter.It can't wait a few hours for the papers to be full of what's going on, who's been arrested by the police.Most cops don't take bribes, but every cop loves publicity.There will definitely be reporters who will rush you to the corner of the office, chasing you and asking you to tell them how you know this girl is the murderer, and they will give you the largest and most prominent position in the newspaper.In no time you'll be caught.So you go on and on and tell them what we just talked about. You start, you go on.Shanlou said. I said: I want to tell you the truth now. Good, good, good! Dr. George Gui ordered Olus to buy some arsenic trioxide.After she bought it, she put it on the shelf in the laboratory according to his instructions.Ruth told me this and asked me what to do.I told her to go back to Dr. Gui's office, get the bag of arsenic before Dr. Gui could touch it, and put it in a safe place. Ruth got the packet of poison last night.Put it in an automatic locker at Union Station.She came to tell me.I told her she should call the police.She said she wanted me to call the police.I told her to wait here, I'm going to get the poison first.She told me the key to the locker was in the pocket of her other suit.She handed me the keys to her apartment.I'm going to her apartment to get the locker key.I used the key she gave me, and as soon as I entered, I was slammed on the head.I woke up to find the body behind the bed.I went downstairs and called the police immediately.Before that, I found the key I wanted in the pocket she said.I went to Union Station to open a locker and the poison was out of there. Shanlou said sarcastically: From this point of view, you found the dead body and immediately called the police.And very detailed, everything is reported.If it works out like this, I really congratulate you. I said: I want to talk to Ruth before calling the police to clarify a lot of things, so as to prevent the police from being troubled by the propaganda of many reporters. Shanlou said to Baisha: Baisha.I think you will have to work alone from now on. What's the meaning? He said: According to what Lai Tangnuo himself said, he was an accomplice after the incident, and he was not wrong.He himself would hide somewhere else for fifteen to twenty years. You are serious, Shanlou. Of course I'm playing for real, Shanlou said, I want to take him back to the headquarters first, I already have enough evidence for this great detective. I said: Are you not too tired to stand?Let's talk about it. Shanlou said: Reasonable as hell.Didn't you say a lot, and you didn't make any sense. I said, "Think about it carefully, what evidence do you have against me, and you don't hold anything against me."I just want to get things straightened out before calling the police.I can't call the police in a daze, but it turned out not to be that way, and make you a fool of the police. Shanlou didn't change his mocking tone: no, no.After you tell us, we'll look it up and we won't make a fool of ourselves. Officer Mi, don't take this lady to the police station.She's not going to run away, let her be right here.So the reporter knows nothing.Together, you and I can solve the case in two hours. Shanlou smiled and said: Tang Nuo, stop playing tricks.In my opinion, the case is closed.You all follow me back to the headquarters? Shanlou, let's be more conscientious, we get along well. Talking nonsense, he said, we policemen must use our brains and not talk nonsense about our conscience. You bring this lady in, and once it is publicized in the newspaper, you will never find the real murderer again. My murderer is already here, who else is looking for a murderer.Maybe I already have two murderers.Do you understand what I mean, Tang Nuo? don't know. I think you went to this woman's apartment with the key, and Hua Susu went in and bumped into you.I think you hit her on the head in order to get away, but you just hit her a little harder.You don't want her to bark, so you choke her, maybe you choke her a little too tightly, maybe you strangle her on purpose.That's never going to be clear anyway.To be honest, since you joined Baisha's work, Baisha has gained nothing but troubles. She got nothing but money. She didn't get any money for the case either.Shanlou said. Give me two hours, just two hours.I pray. Not even half a minute. I said: Let me make a call. He laughed at me. Just a phone call away. who to call. I looked at my watch and said: Call my agent and see the Marseille result. Shanlou said: Is it that late already? It's that late. He said: Let me ask.I'm here to ask no, and I don't ask either.Baisha, it's up to you to ask! Baisha went to use my phone.Dial the number.Said: Hello, hello, I'm looking for it, it's you, you know who I am.How is my lady? I saw Baisha's face was tense. I have never seen Baisha wait for the result of the Marseilles so seriously.I saw a smile on her face.I sat myself down, crossed one foot over the other, and reached for a cigarette. This little bastard.Baisha hung up the phone and spoke with admiration and admiration. How many?Shanlou asked. Bai Sha said: Win a neck distance.Five to one.Win two hundred and fifty dollars.With you one hundred yuan, Shanlou. Shanlou said: What one hundred.As we agreed, the ten yuan added later is also divided in half. oh!Bai Sha said casually: I made a mistake.I thought you only wanted twenty yuan. nonsense.Shanlou said. We won't quarrel over fifty yuan.Baisha told him. you are right.Won't. I said: That's right.You can only be a stupid cop for the rest of your life. What are you talking about. You bring this woman in, and everyone will know everything. Shanlou said: Isn't this too bad?I have already seen the headlines in the newspaper, Shanlou has arrested the female murderer.Two murders solved once.The female killer Skynet was restored. Shanlou looked at me proudly, and said, "If the title is not good, you can change it. If you are smart, you can write the title." I said: very good.In this way, you will get a lot of fame, and everyone will regard you as a news figure.And after that? Afterwards I may be rewarded and not credited.Even the director will give some bonuses, maybe a promotion, and of course the salary will increase a little.It's scary, isn't it?Betha lent me a handkerchief, and I was about to cry. I said: You have destroyed the unique horse racing prediction system in the world.The relationship between that person and this case is so deep that it can be compared to water without a neck.When he sees my name and Ruth's name in the paper, he'll slip away.If I tell the truth, the police will have to go to him again.They'll rummage through the place.Maybe you will preside over the search, but can those complicated and sophisticated things still be used after you fiddle with them? Even if all precautions can still be applied, the team leader will say: Police officer, bring me the evidence you found, and I will see it.Then the director said to the team leader: Team leader, bring the evidence they found to my office, I want to see it.You get it, Shanlou. Officer Mi scratched his hair. I said: You got Ruth.You got me too.You can arrest us again at any time.But we should get the prediction machine first.You just put the plastic strip with the horse's name on it into the machine, press a button, and the result comes out. Ke Baisha said regretfully: Five to one!Shan Lou.If we had more confidence in this little bastard and bet him 500 yuan, we would have 2,500 yuan now! Shanlou walked over, sat down, took out a match from his pocket, rubbed it on the sole of his shoe, and put the fire on the half-bitten cigar. For two full minutes, he watched the blue smoke rise into the air.He said: Where is that thing? I smiled at him. Shanlou said: It's useless to you anyway.You're going to be out of luck for a long time, you know that. It won't be of any use to you, it won't be of any use to anyone, maybe it will be useful to the Chief, you know that too. I can take it to the chief, Shanlou said, and I said: Of course, of course.But you have to get it first. I'll get it, you don't have to worry about it. You and the reporter?I said. Shanlou moved his seat, grabbed his hands into his thick, curly hair, and looked at Baisha. Bai Sha narcissistically said: Just press the button, my god! Shanlou turned to Ruth and said: I haven't heard your story yet.Ruth, you tell me the truth. I said: Ruth, keep your mouth shut! Shanlou blushed and said angrily: Who do you think you are? I try to blow a smoke ring: I'm the one telling you to invest in dame. Shanlou and Baisha exchanged glances.Shanlou said: How long did you say it would take? I said: You can leave Baisha here to watch Olus.You know Betha will obey you.I'll accompany you to see that stuff. And after that? Then we searched that place. we search? I said: There is nothing wrong, you are looking for evidence, and I will be a witness. Shanlou said: The witness is big!You are my prisoner. Whatever you say, I just hope you investigate according to my method. Why should I listen to you? I said: Why do you want to buy a lady?Because you are also an ordinary person who needs to eat and drink, and sometimes people have to take a little risk. Ruth said: In fact I Shut up. She quiets down. Baisha smoothed things over and said: Shanlou, you can trust me.If this little girl dares to play tricks on me, I will flatten all her curves.I do what I say. Shanlou looked confidently at Baisha's muscles and broad shoulders, and admitted, "Who says you can't do it?"
